This report by Energy Innovation analyzes the building sector provisions of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), detailing how rebates, tax credits, and funding for building codes can accelerate decarbonization. It provides a roadmap for federal, state, and local policymakers to implement these incentives, emphasizing the need for complementary regulations—such as updated appliance standards and building codes—to overcome the challenge of slow building stock turnover and meet 2030 climate goals.

This fact sheet by Energy Innovation analyzes the gap between the emissions reductions projected from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the United States' 2030 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) target. Using the U.S. Energy Policy Simulator (EPS), the document identifies additional policy measures across electricity, industry, transportation, and buildings necessary to reach the NDC goal.

The 'Coal Cost Crossover 3.0' fact sheet by Energy Innovation reports that 99% of 210 analyzed U.S. coal plants are more expensive to operate than replacing their capacity with new wind or solar energy. The document highlights how the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) accelerates this transition and estimates that replacing 204 coal plants with local clean energy could generate up to $589 billion in investment for energy communities.

This fact sheet from Energy Innovation outlines how the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides foundational support for decarbonizing the United States building sector through rebates, tax credits, and funding for building codes, while emphasizing the need for complementary state, local, and Tribal government actions to ensure successful implementation.

This guide provides the data sources, assumptions, and methodology used by RMI to create 'State Clean Energy Eco' graphics. These graphics illustrate the economic, social, and health opportunities associated with a transition to a net zero carbon US economy by 2050, focusing on state-level metrics across electricity, industry, transportation, buildings, and human impact.

This document outlines the methodology used by RMI to estimate the state-level benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), focusing on funding flows from tax credits, rebates, grants, and loans, as well as public health and jobs co-benefits.
